Kate Hepburn 1895 ballingary married to xxxxx Philps

I am told they had 11 daughters and adopted a son

Kate's parents are George Elder Hepburn 1863 and Elizabeth Campbell 1868

Siblings - Lizzie Hepburn 1893
              James H Hepburn c 1888
              Bella Hepburn c 1899

I am trying to find any information on Kate and her family, james and his family and bella and her family

My great grandmother was Lizzie Hepburn married to George Mcleod, who went on to have 12 children

Thanks in advance

Hello Fran,

I was just looking at you posts and realized that your "Lizzie" is not on my database but I do have George Elder Hepburn so the likelihood of you and I having the same forebears is still there. I haven't ever researched GEH so it looks as though I have another "twig" to add to my Hepburn tree.

I Fran,

    I don't know if you already have this information, I have been doing some digging for you.  According to the 1911 Census Geo. aged 48  Wife Elizabeth aged 43 are living at 8 Beveridge Pl.,
Parish of Ballingry (Landward), Fife along with James aged 23 and Catherine 16.  Geo. & Eliz. have been married 23 years had 10 children with 3 still living at time of census.

    Kate marries James Menzies Philp  17-4-1914 at Lumphinnans United Free Church Manse, Cowdenbeath.  At the time of her marriage Kate was a pithead worker and living at 8 Beveridge Pl., Lumphinnans.   James M Philp died 3-4-1957 at 45 Primlaws, Leslie.  If you PM me your e-mail
address I will send you a copy of the certificates and also a photo of James & Kates Grave in Leslie Cemetery. 

Regards
Weemanswife
